Was given this little wintel box by a friend fairly recently, but I haven’t yet even powered it on. I don’t have a power cable for it unfortunately but when I do, what do you think I should do with it? What would you do with it?

I think it could potentially be just a basic lightweight desktop for web browsing and such, maybe a little smart tv box or something like that to replace the Chromecast I’m ashamed to admit I use, maybe run some basic self hosted stuff like pihole or home assistant? Could probably be a little emulation machine for retro games but I doubt it would be capable of much more than that. But I’m not sure there’s too many ideas! I need suggestions people

    Looks interesting. But i am used to gitea. I use it for Years now on my workplace and in my homelab.

    Maybe i will try Forgejo in The future.

      For what it’s worth I was able to migrate my docker of gitea to a docker of forgejo by just changing the image to be forgejo and remaining some if the environment variables. It uses the game data and database so it’s basically a drop in replacement that they have instructions for on their website.

      Makes trying it out pretty simple, not sure about migrating back to gitea from forgejo though.
